It's 66cm at the short end, 85cm at the other. I'm so glad he tore to get a straight edge to start with! To think we used bitch about the fabric not being cut straight in quilt shops in the UK!Thursday, August 13, 2009
Straight, sort of...
Thought you'd enjoy seeing one of my Nehru Place purchases. I asked for half a metre of this checked fabric. The young man behind the counter snipped and tore the fabric to make a straight edge he could measure from. He then cut this piece for me.

When I moved to the US from Canada, I couldn't believe how inexpensive fabric was, and in OR there was no tax. When others would say "I can't believe the price of fabric" I would pop up and say "I know, it;s so cheap here" Shop owners would be happy to hear and then I explained and customers would say, Oh I guess I shouldn't complain! No kidding, some times you don;t know how good we have things!
at least it's over half a metre even at the shorter end :)
Oh, well, not that different from some customers quilt backings then!
